…It ended.
This battle was harsh enough to consider the world’s safety at stake, and yet the slis were all alive and well.
Moreover, all of them were unscathed.
If Halt and the others couldn’t win against these slis, then there’s no way I would stand a chance against them.
No, it’s not just about .
No one in this entire world could probably beat these guys.
Two of the slis were restraining Youko and Sitri’s 8 party mbers, and the other three were dancing in the middle of the arena.
Were they celebrating their victory?
If these guys took a step outside the barrier —
The world would end.
The faces of my wife and sons flashed in my mind.
Ahh, I wanted to see them one last ti…
Thoughts like that swirled in my mind.
“A-Ahm…Johann-san.”
“H-Halt! Are you alright?!”
Halt regained consciousness.
He had fallen right beside the magical barrier where I was, and he only faced while speaking.
“The slis…were pretty strong, huh.”
“ — Eh?”
Those things you fought against were not slis, no matter how you look at it.
I was the one who captured them and brought them here, but those weren’t slis, no doubt about it.
I’m so sorry for capturing strange things!
“W-We…lost, right?”
Halt bitterly cried.
No, you didn’t lose!
You CAN”T lose!!
The world would end if you guys lost!!
“N-Not yet.”
“Eh”
“You guys didn’t lose yet!!”
“Johann…”
“You guys can do it! There’s no one else but you guys!! Halt, the world’s existence depends on you!!”
This might sound unfair, but we don’t have a choice but to let Halt and his comrades fight.
As far as I know, no one else was strong enough to fight against those five monsters that were still in one piece even after all that happened in their battle.
“B-By the way…Is it possible to have a rematch if we lose?”
“R-rematch?”
“Yes. Even if we lost this ti, is it still possible to take the advancent examination again?”
“Advancent examination? You can take that as many tis as you want!”
You can take such a re thing anyti you want.
That’s why, please, I beg you, slay these slis!!
Such thoughts ran through my head, when —
“I see. Thank you very much. Then please, let us do this challenge once again next week.”
Halt stood up after saying that.
“Eh?”
W-Why are you standing up?
No, I do want you to stand up but…
“Well then, that’s all for today.”
Halt snapped his fingers, and the magical barrier surrounding them vanished.
N-No way!
The slis, the world’s destruction, will go outside!!
— was what I thought, but the slis continued to dance in the middle of the arena without a care.
Halt didn’t pay attention to them.
“He~y, we’re going ho ~”
Halt called out, and all the party mbers of the woman nad Tina calmly stood up.
Youko and Sitri’s parties were released from the slis’ tentacles, too.
Eh…Eh!?
W-What!?
What the heck is going on here!?
“Seira, please cast recovery magic on everyone.”
“Yes!”
I didn’t really get it, but that Seira girl suddenly casted an amazing recovery spell.
Ryuushin had been lying on the ground battered and sore, but all of his wounds were healed.
Those slis were also included in the scope of her spell.
“Ryuka, please repair the arena.”
“Leave it to .”
That lass Ryuka also seed to be a dragonoid.
“Resurrection!”
Just when I thought the scales dotting her body beca bigger, she suddenly casted the Resurrection spell, the magic of revival.
That’s a revival magic, and yet —
“Eh…Eh?”
The floor that had been badly gouged out and scorched black was perfectly restored.
I was dumbfounded because of the shock.
“Thanks, Seira, Ryuka.”
“No need to ntion it. Ryuushin is the one who got it worst, after all.”
“Halt, you poured mana to the floor so the repair was a breeze!”
While they were talking about a bunch of things that didn’t made sense, the rest of Halt’s comrades also stood up.
“You understand now that you can’t let your guard down just because they’re slis?”
“Urk, sorry.” (Youko)
“Sorry~.” (Hakua)
“I will never let my guard down just because it’s a sli!” (Ryuushin)
“Glad that everyone got it now…Alright! Let’s go ho and have an evaluation eting. Tina, is it okay if we have curry for today?”
“Of course, please leave it to .”
“Whooaaa! It’s Tina’s curry for today!?” (Shiro)
I jumped when the tiny wolf sitting on Halt’s shoulder suddenly spoke.
That beast was registered as Halt’s familiar, but… so, it can talk, huh.
“We’re looking forward to Tina’s curry.” (Mai and i)
“L-Let’s hurry up and go ho!” (Youko)
“Yes yes. Then, Johann, please take care of us next week again. Thank you.”
Halt took his comrades and left the arena.
“...”
Eh…D-Don’t tell , I-I’ve been left here to deal with those slis!?
I was getting all anxious because of that, when —
The slis followed Halt out of the arena for so reason.
“Still…your attacks had been way too fast!” (Youko)
“Kyupi!”
“Hey, aren’t you too good at manipulating your magic suit? Is it okay if I call you teacher?”
“Kyupipi—”
“Ryuushin, this child said ‘okay’.”
“Luna, you can also understand Sli lingo?” (Sylph)
“Yes, of course.”
“Amazing~” (Hakua)
“Kyupi!”
That had been one heck of a battle just so ti ago, but now these slis were joining the conversation as if they had been part of Halt’s group from the start.
“Eh…So…what?”
I don’t really get it, but —
At least the world is safe now, it seems.
